In My Head

I have lots of thoughts running through my head--that I can't really share here yet. But I can say that I'm excited and hopeful about a possible new opportunity and that my head is spinning with really great ideas. The kind of ideas that I haven't had in so long that I forgot I was capable of them. I'm happy to be thinking this way again.

On another note, the weekend we closed on our house and moved in, I found a piece of upholstery fabric that I felt expressed the mood I wanted for our interior. It had the right colors, and the right feel. But I couldn't figure out just what to make with it. So it has been sitting in my stash for four years. Then as soon as I saw this TV cozy, I knew it would be the perfect thing. Now, many months later, I've finally made it. And I love it. Here's a not so clear picture of it. I'll get some more straight on shots someday. It was fun to "draft" a pattern to fit our large and funky shaped TV. I still need to bind the bottom edge with brown bias binding, but again, I 'll do that someday, I'm sure.

Todd has also been busy. He and some friends/collegues from the university made a movie on Friday. It was for this film festival. They filmed outside for something like 5 hours, in 10 degree weather. Then it got dark and they had to reshoot everything, for continuity. It went much faster the second time. The film is only three minutes long and I think their finished product is fantastic. The best part of it for me was seeing how happy it made Todd to work on something like that. On the crew of 6, he was the writer. But he also helped with every other aspect along the way--and they shot it in our driveway. I just loved seeing him so excited to collaborate with other creative people on such a quick, invigorating project. I'll tell you the results as soon as we find out.

Breitling is now over 50 years old and is an iconic timepiece. Bentley Motors design and functionality have changed remarkably little over the years. This chronograph Bentley Motors T can be used to calculate air speed, fuel consumption, rates of descent and the conversion of standard miles into nautical miles amongst other things - all by using the circular slide rule found on the side of Chronomat Evolution .


Normal women too haven't remained behind and have gone on to make Christian Shoes the most wonderful of shoes in Christian Louboutin Pumps closets. The Christian Louboutin Boots have been able to liberate the normal woman with modest means by being able to give her what she wants and yet not pay exorbitant rates for Christian Louboutin Sandals .


Besides Coach bags serving our greater needs, the Large Signature Coach Gallery comes in many diverse patchworks. The time honored Coach Hamptons LARGE Authentic Khaki/Black Purse Handbag and Signature Denim with leather trim Coach Legacy are my personal favorites. I love the size and reliability of these bags as well as the crinkle patent leather trim and signature lightweight fabric.
